The Art Plug is the brainchild of Miami native, Marcel Katz. Acting as both an art agency and art dealership, Katz does anything from curated brand activations and murals to artist development and consulting. With the return of Miami Art Week 2019, Marcel geared up for his second Art Basel party, The Art Plug Power House. This showcase features 25 art activations and installations, a gallery exposition of over 50 renowned artists, including an art charity auction in partnership with Paddle8 and Best Buddies, a series of artist-led panels and talks, and live performances via Atlantic Records at The Citadel. To kick off this epic fair, The Art Plug and Red Bull teamed up for an event on the rooftop of Miami Design District’s Museum Garage. Here, world-renowned motocross athletes performed live extreme sports performances in bikes decorated by The Art Plug’s artists.

“We are thrilled to bring The Art Plug Power House to Miami Art Week 2019. While The Power House is an art fair, my team and I envision it more as a unique platform to showcase artists in an extremely unconventional way, while also bringing an entirely new and different experience to those who attend. We look forward to welcoming the masses to the art fair, whether you’re an art connoisseur, Blue Chip collector, or someone seeking an exciting entertainment-driven event during Miami Art Week.” - Marcel Katz
